BUKIT Aman will summon three senior officers from the Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission (MACC) who were previously remanded for six days to complete investigations into the loss of case items involving US$6 million (RM25 million).

Bukit Aman Criminal Investigation Department director Abd Jalil Hassan said his department would also call the owner of the money, namely former director-general of the Malaysian External Intelligence Organisation, Hasanah Abdul Hamid.

“All of them will be called to complete the investigation,” he told Bernama in Kuala Lumpur today.

Yesterday, Home Minister Hamzah Zainudin was reported to have said police had opened an investigation paper based on a police report received on the issue.

On Monday, MACC confirmed three of its senior officers were remanded for six days to assist in the investigation into allegations of abuse of power and malfeasance.

Meanwhile, Jalil said the extradition process for cosmetics entrepreneur Muhammad Sajjad Kamarul Zaman or Nur Sajat from Thailand was still ongoing between the Attorney-General’s Chambers and Thai authorities.

“Yes, it is still ongoing, and the (extradition) application is part of the process,” he said.

He was commenting on allegations the Thai authorities had allegedly not received any application for Sajjad, 36, who is currently detained by the Thai Immigration Department for having an invalid passport.

Sajjad is wanted in the country for several criminal offences, including intimidation and obstructing civil servants from carrying out their duties, as well as name and gender change fraud.

An arrest warrant was issued against him for failing to appear at the Shah Alam Shariah High Court for remention over the charge of dressing up as a woman. – Bernama, September 23, 2021.
